About:

The Exchange Archive is a research database for projects about exchange.

From unconventional dialogue to reciprocity systems, the Exchange Archive supports
research about contemporary exchange practices. We aim to support artistic research by making
legible the people, ideas, and materials that surround exchange-based work today.

Who We Are:

The Exchange Archive was conceived, designed, and developed as a collaboration
between the MultiAgency Collective and Caroline Woolard, as part of
MoMA Studio: Exchange Café.
